A community mining system analyzes objects of different types and
relationships between the objects of different types to identify
communities. The relationships between the objects have an associated
time. The community mining system extracts various features related to
objects of a designated type from the relationships between objects of
different types that represent the evolution of the features over time.
The community mining system collects training data that indicates
extracted features associated with members of the communities. The
community mining system then classifies an object of the designated type
as being within the community based on closeness of the features of the
object to the features of the training data.
